How will you feel when Hawthorn wins the Premiership and you don't know every players nick-name? C'mon, if you've got a nickname for a player .... put it here in this thread!

IMPORTANT: When you post a player nick-name please detail/explain

Ive heard Cyril called Scissor, Sizzle and Squirell...

Ive also heard Beau Dowler called Forehead or Forrid (which is self explanatory)...

Tim Boyle was kettle wasn't he?

Tim Boyle was kettle wasn't he?

Why do you think Tim had the nick-name 'kettle'? What makes you believe its true?

 

[Hawker08]

I think it might have something to do with "Boyleing" water!!!

 

[Hawker08]

Spent a few games watching Gary Ayres at Princess Park, I'm sure I heard several supporters call out "Pubic" when he applied his heroics

 

[Fevola99]

Birchall: Winston (Churchill, hear it yelled out almost every game)
Dunstall: Chief, from when he was CEO
Ellis: The Night Club Specialist (MMM nickname because of what his main nickname is the first syllable of)
Dowler: Beavis, because he looks like him. I don't know if it's taken off
Franklin: Buddy Love (from MMM, after the Nutty Professor character) also Emu
Croad: Yellow Brick Croad, Rex Hunt's name for him
Ben McGlynn: Mighty Mouse, I don't know why it's his nickname but it is
Savage: Macho Man

Like another poster said, a 'kettle' boils (Boyles). Not sure if it's a genuine nickname but it was certainly yelled out by the fans at the games.

 

[Bayer_]

Moss - the Cat in the Hat

 

[Fevola99]

Huh

X, ecstasy, MDMA, it's used as a recreational drug. maybe that is not why they call him that? but it makes sense

That's his best nick name yet.

Ellis: The Night Club Specialist (MMM nickname because of what his main nickname is the first syllable of)

Pretty sure the MMM boys made up this nickname because they used to say him and Roughy would destroy the nightclubs together - being 2 sexy blokes.

 

[gaz15]

I remember danny Jacobs being called 3 nokias!

 

[mess]

Renouf has become "The Roof" for me now.

 

[Willie_Rioli]

Buddy is also called 'Emu'. Seems to be mainly used by Clarkson, and I assume because he reckons he looks like an emu running.
